Most students have 2 devices and it doesn’t stop cheating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Respondus Monitor is how it keeps the exams fair by preventing cheating. It’s easy to set up, and once it’s running, you don’t have to worry about anything—just focus on the test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don’t like about Respondus Monitor is that it sometimes lags or freezes, especially if the internet connection isn’t strong. It can make the whole process a bit stressful during an important exam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filled a perceived need by some faculty. Already had a relationship with Respondus due to having the test gen software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were other platforms in the industry that seemed to be more current. Test proctoring software like this tends to simply give a false sense of confidence to faculty, and also does not pass the privacy requirements for our institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it integrates easily in the LMS we are using at the university I work. We mainly use Respondus Monitor in tandem with Respondus Lock Down Browser in the quizzes section of Brightspace. Teachers only had to choose a password a few settings, and they are ready to go. It has many customizable options that offer teachers a tool to guarantee honesty in their students' exams.

The installation process in the student's personal computers has been quite challenging sometimes. It would be great if this software could offer a more friendly setup process and automatization of settings for users, especially students with little technological and digital knowledge.

Nothing for real, there isn't a single thing I enjoy about using the software, it only makes everything harder and more prone to failure. I can't understand why some professors insist on using when it doesn't really give them control Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate having to use it at all, it makes the process of answering an exam much more difficult and stressful with the added bonus that it can also freeze your device if it feels like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Locks users computers in while quizzing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recording of students faces while quizzing doesn't really solve the issue of cheating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monitor is a very useful tool, but in a world where decisions are made based on data, the manager of Respondus Monitor falls short in the information available to the administrator. It is advised that there be more diversity of data in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to interpret the use of licenses and storage, as unlike LDB, this is of a great cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once initiated in the LMS, it is relatively simple for instructors to use Respondus Monitor. It does a good job at locking the browser so that students do not refer to external websites. There is also the added benefit of being able to allow access to certain websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some (many?) students do not have the required technology to be able to use Respondus Monitor. Even with use of the tool, student have the ability to use other means to cheat so this is not a fail-safe solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It supports a variety of Operating systems and web browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Privacy and safety could be concerns for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
